BlueEFFICIENCY: fast forward to viable efficiency.

Less fuel, more future: our vans with BlueEFFICIENCY technology.

As the inventor of the car, Mercedes-Benz has set itself the goal of shaping the future of mobility in a responsible and sustainable manner. At the same time we are constantly working to ensure that van operation becomes more and more cost-effective for our customers. The fact that these objectives can go hand in hand is demonstrated by Mercedes-Benz BlueEFFICIENCY technology.

BlueEFFICIENCY means reducing consumption, saving on costs and protecting the environment. We use the umbrella term BlueEFFICIENCY for a series of innovative, intelligently combined measures which noticeably reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. These include for example an ECO start/stop function, alternator and battery management and tyres which have been optimised for rolling resistance.

The ECO start/stop function switches off the engine temporarily when the vehicle is stationary, which helps to reduce consumption, particularly in urban and stop-and-go traffic.

The core of the battery management is a sensor which continually detects data such as energy, voltage and temperature levels from the vehicle's battery. These figures contribute to efficient generation, intelligent distribution and optimised storage.

Tyres optimised for rolling resistance have low energy requirements while driving and also help to reduce fuel consumption.

The Citan with the BlueEFFICIENCY package – maximised application with minimal consumption.

The Citan with a petrol engine is fitted with a BlueEFFICIENCY package [1] [2] [3] as standard. The package is available as an option for the diesel engine models. Along with other features it includes an ECO start/stop function, battery and alternator management and, depending on variant, tyres which have been optimised for rolling resistance .Thanks to BlueEFFICIENCY technologies the fuel consumption for the Citan has been reduced to 4.2 L/100km [4].

The new Vito – unsurpassed in eco-friendliness and economy.

With low-consumption engines and innovative BlueEFFICIENCY technologies the new Vito achieves superb emissions figures, smoothing your path to a successful future, also in regard to economics. Using a combination of continual technical development and additional fuel-reducing measures we have lowered fuel consumption by an average of 20%.That means you can get on the road with figures as low as 5.7 L/100 km [5] [6] – in the most sustainable Vito of all time.

The BlueEFFICIENCY measures include an ECO start/stop function, underbody panelling for improved aerodynamics, a Fuel-EFFICIENCY generator which is more effective and alternator management. The scope of the BlueEFFICIENCY package varies depending on the engine and vehicle registration type [7].

The best Sprinter of all time. Eco-friendly and economical like never before.

As one of the most sustainable vehicles of its class the Sprinter achieves superb emissions and consumption figures because of its systematically developed engines and the BlueEFFICIENCY package [8] [9] [10] [11]. In urban short-radius distribution in particular, the interaction of the ECO start/stop function, ECO power steering pump, fuel-economy generator, electrically regulated fuel pump and tyres optimised for rolling resistance ensure significant reductions in emissions and fuel consumption.

With the optional BlueEFFICIENCY package plus [12] you can reduce fuel consumption to figures as low as 6.3 L/100km [13].

[1] The BlueEFFICIENCY package is an option or standard equipment, depending on the selected vehicle variant. The BlueEFFICIENCY package is standard equipment with the petrol engine.

[2] Prerequisites for the BlueEFFICIENCY package are a power window with one-touch operation for the driver's side, power exterior mirrors (both optional extras) and an outside temperature display (standard equipment on the Citan crewbus with passenger car registration (M1)).

[7] The BlueEFFICIENCY package is optionally available for the Vito panel van, Mixto and Tourer. The BlueEFFICIENCY package is standard equipment in conjunction with the 140-kW variant and 7G-TRONIC PLUS automatic transmission as well as with the automatic transmission in conjunction with passenger car registration.

[8] Not in conjunction with petrol engine.

[9] Please enquire about the availability of the BlueEFFICIENCY package with 7G-TRONIC PLUS automatic transmission for special Sprinter variants at your Mercedes-Benz Vans dealer.

[10] Shift point display, battery management and internal engine measures are included as standard. All other components are optional extras.

[11] Not in conjunction with all-wheel drive.

[12] Available as a complement to the BlueEFFICIENCY package for all Sprinter panel vans and crewbuses with a perm. GVW of 3.0 t and 3.5 t as well as with CDI engine OM 651. Trailer towing is not possible with BlueEFFICIENCY package plus.
